‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai’ and ‘Khichdi’ Are Returning, Here's When One Can Catch It

For a while now, we'd resigned to the fact that good content is restricted only to OTT platforms, while the quality of shows on TV is perennially on the decline, hadn't we? Well, whether we see an upswing in the quality of TV soaps is unclear, but temporary relief is surely coming our way! The whole country was swept up in a wave of nostalgia when it dawned on us that Ramaayan would be telecast again. If that was not enough, as we told you a few days ago, the much-loved Dekh Bhai Dekh also made a return. Today, we have some more news that is sure to take your Quarantine blues away…

Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is back!

Maya Sarabhai and Monisha Sarabhai will soon go head to head on our TV screens yet again, while Indravadan Sarabhai tries knocking some sense into Rosesh, in his boorish ways, of course. A show which garnered as much praise as it delivered laughs, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai was revered not only for its humour, but also for its depiction of the class divide in India. Most of us happily slotted ourselves in the shoes of Monisha, who had to deal with her snooty, yet lovable (don’t deny it!) mother-in-law, Maya. The victory of the show lay in the fact that while most characters were grey, they were all relatable and we hated no one.

Announcing it's re-release from the 6th of April, Star Bharat tweeted, “16 saal baad, Indravadan aa raha hai milne aapse fir ek baar. Dekhiye Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai April 6 se subah 10 baje. Sirf Star Bharat par." A Star One show which was originally aired in 2004, it soon gained a cult following and also had a second season which was commissioned recently for HotStar. As it happens ever so often, diehard fans preferred the first season and boy, aren't they rejoicing now…!

Khichdi makes a comeback too!

Soon after letting the world know that Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is back, Star Bharat offered another heartwarming surprise to its fans when it tweeted "18 saal baat Praful aa raha hai appse milne. Dekhiye Khichdi April 6 se subah 11 baje, sirf Star Bharat par." We certainly couldn't have asked for a better lineup as the Sarabhais will now be followed by the Parekhs.

Another show which made middle-class India the hero, Khichdi was first launched in 2002. After two successful seasons then, it was later rebooted as Khichdi Returns in 2018. Featuring an assortment of endearing characters led by the inimitable Supriya Pathak and the delightful Rajeev Mehta, Khichdi soon became a favourite. Fans who for long missed the camaraderie between Praful and Hansa Parekh, now certainly need to wait no more.
